Another two forums opened overnight
I think it is time that Vintage Radio started to expand to cater for other branches of vintage receiving equipment, including but not limited to vintage television, vintage military radio and vintage gramophones, phonographs and telephones.
Whilst my knowledge of these other things isn't as strong as for vintage domestic radios there is no real reason to hold back these other facets of vintage electronics and recognising the existance of these items along with their collectors will allow this website to grow at a faster rate.
Over this long weekend you will also notice a few visual changes to Vintage Radio, more small than large, but hopefully will add to the visual appeal of this website. I am also giving consideration to an eighth forum and will decide on that before the end of the weekend - they are fairly easy to roll out.
